How Supermajority Is Celebrating This VP Announcement Day

Back in March, we called for the then-remaining Democratic presidential candidates — Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Bernie Sanders — to affirm their commitment to gender equity by running with a woman Vice President. Just days later, Biden pledged to do just that, and today he made good on that promise: He’s running with Senator Kamala Harris.

This is a big deal. Only two other women have ever been the Vice Presidential nominee on a major-party ticket before. No other women of color have. So while we know the days ahead will be tough — from combatting the inevitable sexist, racist comments made about this candidate to doing everything we can to make sure she’s elected — today, here at Supermajority, we’re celebrating this historic achievement. 

Here are just a few ways we’re spending this day:

• Registering to vote 
• Calling friends and making sure they’re registered to vote, too
• Finding a way to volunteer
• Having a glass of wine from BIWOC-owned wineries, like McBride Sisters and Aslina
• Lighting candles from BIWOC-owned businesses, like Harlem Candle Company, Isabis, and Elon Wick, 
• Following Supermajority on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook
• Filling out the census
• Listening to “Formation” on repeat
• Reading Supermajority News’ profile on our new VP (and all the amazing women who were on the short list)
• Sending some fun facts about Kamala Harris to all our friends and family members who might have missed the announcement
• Moisturizing
• Muting the sexist trolls on our timelines
• Listening to Michelle Obama’s new podcast
• Drinking cocktails
• Buying some badass woman VP swag
